Fifty-to-One
By Charles Ardai
Dust jacket by Glen Orbik
Limited: $45
Deluxe Limited: $750
Celebrating 50 Years of Hard Case Crime!
Okay, not really. But what if, instead of having been founded 50 books ago,
Hard Case Crime had been founded 50 years ago, by a rascal out to make a
quick buck off the popularity of pulp fiction? Such a fellow might make a
few enemies-especially after publishing a supposed non-fiction account of a
heist at a Mob-run nightclub, actually penned by an 18-year-old showgirl.
With both the cops and the crooks after them, our heroes are about to learn
that reading and writing pulp novels is a lot more fun than living them.
Fifty-to-One will feature a full color signature page, plus full color
endsheets depicting the 49 previous books in the Hard Case Crime Series,
In addition, each chapter of Fifty-to-One bears the title of a previous Hard
Case Crime book, including such gems as Lucky at Cards (Lawrence Block),
Lemons Never Lie (Richard Stark), The Colorado Kid (Stephen King), and Gun
Work (David J. Schow), among others.
Fifty-to-One will be available in two unique editions: 500 cloth bound
copies signed by the author, Charles Ardai, and a deluxe limited edition of
50 lavishly bound copies, housed in a handmade traycase, with over twenty
full-color signature pages for most of the Hard Case Crime Authors, each
hand-tipped front of the chapter that bears the title of one of their books.
Limited: 500 numbered copies signed by the author
